PHOTOSHere's Why Paris Hilton Has No Regrets About Ending Her Engagement To Chris Zylka
Paris Hilton is speaking her truth. The Simple Life star opened up about breaking off her engagement to actor Chris Zylka in an new interview and she revealed why it was the "best decision" she ever made.
"It was the best decision I've ever made in my life," the 39-year-old told Cosmopolitan U.K. "I just don't think he was the right person and I feel like I'm an incredible woman and I deserve someone so amazing. It just didn't feel right. I've worked way too hard to just give my life to someone. They have to be perfect."
“It feels good to not have someone controlling me,” she added. “With dating certain people, there’s the risk of not trusting them and the fear that if I go out of town they might do something to embarrass me. I feel lucky now to not have that fear because I’m independent.”
Paris and Chris, 34, broke up in November 2018 after a 10-month engagement and two years of dating. The Secret Circle star proposed to the socialite with a glitzy $2 million ring.
